Chapter 624


    The heat of his sturdy and powerful arm was printed on her skin directly through the thin dress.


    Emily swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly. She felt as if her skin was scalded with tiny lumps.


    What was strange was that after he wrapped his arms around her waist, with the help of his


    strength, she actually began to walk steadily.

    The banquet hall was at the left end of the first floor. The banquet hall was resplendent and


    magnificent, and the beauties were walking up and down in their splendid dresses.


    It was like a scene that would only appear in movies. It was the first time that Emily had ever in such


    ce. Even during the annual dinner celebrations that she had interviewed before, she had never


    come to such an asion.


    As soon as they entered the banquet hall, a girl wearing a white dress came running towards them.


    "Simon!"


    The girl shouted sweetly when she came up and shyly waved the hem of her dress iid with


    flowers. "As soon as I heard that you would attend this banquet for Wilson tonight, I asked my dad


    to bring me here! I''ve been here for a long time. Simon, can I be yourpanion?"


    The smile on Simon''s thin lips remained unchanged. He pulled Emily, who wanted to withdraw,


    forward and said, "Sorry, I already have apanion!"


    When the girl heard this, she immediately ran away and angrily turned back to re at her.


    Emily blinked her eyes. That''s not what she meant!


    She was the one who took the me for him!


    The banquet was very lively. The purpose of Emily''s visit was acting as a mascot. She just need to


    smile at anyone who came to say hi. Fortunately, Simon did not seem to be keen on this kind of


    asion. In addition to greeting the host of the banquet, he did not chat with too many people. In


    the middle, he went to the bathroom. Emily ran to the long table to eat.


    Anyway, it wouldn''t cost her any money, so she didn''t hesitate to fill her stomach.


    When she filled the white porcin te with food again and was about to pick up a piece of egg-


    yolk puff and put it in her mouth, a slender figure appeared in front of her to block the light from the


    top of her head. "You look so beautiful in this dress!"


    Emily looked up and saw a young boy standing in front of her.


    He looked like a young college student, so the mature suit didn''t match his obviously. He should be


    a child from a rich family who came with his parents.


    When Emilye didn''t graduate, as the vice president of the student union, she always helped


    entertain new students, so there were often boysing to chat her up. Emily suddenly felt a little


    nostalgic for the scene. She couldn''t help but tease him, "Am I good looking, or is my dress?"


    "You! Of course you!" The boy smiled shyly and scratched his head. "Miss, can you give me your


    phone numbers?"


    Seeing that there was no trace of sphemousness in his eyes, Emily smiled and nodded. "Sure!"


    After exchanging contact details, the boy''s parents seemed to call him, so he left shyly.


    Emily shrugged her shoulders, turned around, and got a fright.


    It was unknown when Simon came back from the bathroom. He stood there quietly with his hands in


    his pockets. Her amorous eyes narrowed slightly at this time. He said to Emily, "There is a


    vegetable leaf on your teeth."


    Hearing this, Emily immediately took out her phone to cheek her teeth in a hurry.


    Just now she wasughing at the young boy. If her teeth were stained with the leaves of the


    vegetables, it would be too shameful!


    She looked at herslf for a long time, and there was nothing on her white teeth. When she saw the


    teasing smile in Simon''s eyes, Emily knew that she had been fooled again. The banquet was


    western-style, and there were all delicate cakes. Where did the vegetable leavese from!


    D*mn it!


    The banquetsted for two hours and finally ended.


    Because Simon had met an acquaintance of an elder, who was the father of that girl they had met


    before. In order to avoid being poked into a beehive by that girl''s eyes, Emily lifted the hem of her


    dress and went to the Cayenne alone to wait.


    When Simon opened the car door and came in, she could not wait to reach out her hand. "Have I


    finished your task? I hope you can keep your promise, too. Where''s my ne?"


    "Mm." Simon frowned.


    "What''s wrong?" Emily asked nervously.


    There was a hint of hesitation in Simon''s expression. He looked at Emily and said slowly, "I didn''t


    find it just now. I suspect that I may left it in the stomach of the patientst night during the


    operation."


    "What!" Emily''s eyes were wide open.


    When she was about to swear, she saw Simon reaching into his pocket and taking out something


    and throwning it to her. Emily subconsciously caught it and felt the outline of the fish. She fixed her


    eyes on it and found that it was the ne that she had taken along for many years.


    This fellow was always ying tricks on her!


    This little fish pendant was made by her father when she was five years old. Her mother also took


    her to buy the ne. Later, after they passed away in a car ident it was the only relic left to


    her by her parents. It was almost the most important thing to her.


    The joy of regaining suddenly filled her chest, and she clenched it tightly as if it was a treasure.


    Seeing her expression as if she was holding treasure, Simon nced over with his amorous eyes.


    "A gift from your ex?"


    Emily didn''t hear what he said. She was just focusing on putting the ne on her neck.


    Seeing her stroking the silver little fish back and forth with joy, Simon took it as a tacit admission. He


    snorted, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove away the Cayenne from the entrance of the hotel.


    There were not too many cars in the evening, and the hotel was not far away from where she lived,


    so the Cayenne stopped in front of a residential building about twenty minutester. Looking at the


    building, Simon asked in surprise, "You live here?"


    "Yes!" Emily nodded.


    The house was lent to her by Mr. Hogg, so the rent was almost half the price. She didn''t exin it to


    him. She looked up and couldn''t help frowning. When she unbuckled her seat belt, she took out her


    phone and dialed the number. "Hello? Tina, are you asleep?"


    During the day, her colleague Tina said that her rtive couldn''t stay at home tonight, so she had to


    come to her house for a night. However, Emily didn''t know when she will get her ne, so she


    gave the key to Tina. But just now, she saw that there was no light at home. She shouldn''t sleep at


    this time!


    "Emily, I was just about to call you!" Tina said apologetically on the phone. "I met an ssmate on


    the subway, and we had a meal just now. Now that I''ve just finished eating, I''m going back. Just wait


    for me for a while. It''s estimated that it''ll take only half an hour at most!"


    "Okay, got it!"


    Emily hung up the phone, feeling a little worried.


    Since she was living in someone else''s house, she had only one key. She couldn''t possibly ask her


    friend to ask Mr. Hogg for the keys in the middle of the night!


    At the moment, she was afraid that she could only wait for Tina toe back. Otherwise, even if


    she went to Tina, it would be a waste of time. Moreover, her current outfit was really not suitable for


    her to hang around.


    After ncing at the building gate that was tightly shut outside, Emily thought that she would wait in


    front of the building for a while and maybe there wille a neighbor to help her open the door, and


    then she could wait inside the corridor.


    Just as her hand touched the car door and was about to push the door open, the car closed with a


    sudden click.
